Check out the new and notable apps we think you should be downloading this week.

Tales From Deep Space

Price: $6.99/£4.99 • Version: 1.0 • Size: 842 MB

A premium adventure game which sees a salesman and his robot assistant trapped on Big Moon, forced to work together to solve puzzles and fight bad guys so they can escape. With a humorous plot and great graphics, plus a 2-player co-op mode that can be played over two devices!

Loopimal

Price: $2.99/£2.49 • Version: 1.0.0 • Size: 51.5 MB

Loopimal is a sweet-natured music composition tool for kids of all ages. Beguiling, entertaining, intuitive and packed full of charming animations and beautiful audio. We featured this app on release but have since written a full review. What’s not to like about a dancing pig and a bass-playing octopus?

LEGO Minifigures Online

Price: $4.99/£3.99 • Version: 1.0.1 • Size: 962 MB

A LEGO adventure game that kids can play socially with thousands of players online. Build a team of cool lego minifigures and go on exciting quests with your friends. Refreshingly, the app ditches the freemium gaming model in favor of a one-time fee for each world, with no microtransactions or confusing in-game currency for parents to worry about.

Pixelmator

Price: $4.99/£3.99 • Version: 2.0.1 • Size: 98.7 MB

An excellent image-editing app that’s perfectly suited to mobile use, with powerful features and an interface that’s easy to get to grips with. For the casual photo editor, it’s overkill – but for detailed edits, the app is a must-have.

Relook

Price: $3.99/£2.99 • Version: 1.02 • Size: 25.9 MB

Relook brings professional quality photo retouching into the hands of anyone with an iPhone, letting your turn those dodgy selfies into beautiful portraits. The tutorials help you to get impressive results in a matter of minutes.
